LyicsJesus, they blessings are not few,
Nor is they gospel weak;
Thy grace can melt the stubborn
Jew,
And heal they dying Greek.
Wide as the reach of Satan's
rage
Does thy salvation flow:
'Tis not confined to sex nor age,
The loft nor the low.
While grace is offered to the
prince,
The poor may take his share;
No mortal has a just pretense to perish in despair.
Come, all you wretched sinners,
come,
He'll form your soul's anew;
His gospel and his heart have room
For rebels such as you.
His doctrine is almighty live,
There's virtue in his name,
To turn a raven to a dove,
A lion to a lamb.
Come, then accept the offered
grace,
And make no more delay;
His love will all you r guilt efface,
And soothe your fears away.
